This was one of the best restaurants i have ever been to it was my first time visiting NYC i went with some girls for my birthday we found this gem on yelp and decided to give it a try. From the moment we called to make reservations we knew we'd love this place they closed 9 but still gave us a reservation for (7) 9 and stayed open late just for my birthday dinner. When we arrived Chef Chicco greeted us at the door with open arms took off our jackets and hung them up for us. Accompanied us to a beautiful table and began to tell us about his amazing dishes and his restaurant. For appetizers he brought us out a sampler plate with crab cakes fried chickpeas topped with a salad which was to die for!! For our entrees he made a special dish that wasn't even on the menu a pasta filled with four cheeses and pear in a Alfredo sauce that was absolutely delicious we also ordered the lobster raviolis which were very tasty and i ordered the filet mignon with a cognac reduction i can honestly say this was one of the best tasting steaks I've ever had in my life i ate the whole thing!! When it came time for dessert Chef Chicco came out singing happy birthday to me with an amazing tiramisu & chocolate lava cake surrounded by fresh fruit, everything in this place is made fresh by hand. I couldn't have asked for a better meal and night thank you Chef Chicco for giving me one of the best experiences I've ever had and for making my birthday so special!!! We will be back for sure. If you haven't tried this restaurant you don't know what your missing you won't be disappointed.
Wow! If you are looking for fantastic, well seasoned and scrumptious Italian food, get yourself to Fabio Cucina. The trio appetizer - oven baked crab cake, buffalo milk mozzarella & fries chickpea wafer was the best....ever!!!! Chef Chicco was friendly, warm and offered table side advice to a wonderfully diverse menu. The entire staff was awesome and detailed oriented.
This was the most perfect meal. Every taste was spectacular. The mozzarella appetizer was the most amazing creamy mozzarella. The pasta, the desserts, even the coffee was beyond compare. The creme brûlée brought me to literal tears. I have never experienced such an amazing array of flavors in one place. In addition Chef Chicco, his business partner and the staff were fabulous, courteous and helpful. Thanks to the staff at the Marriott Voirtyard for recommending Fabio's! I hope to visit NYC and Fabio's again.
The meal, the service, the atmosphere--all 5 stars! You must try the Fettuccine al Fabio, it will change your life. Don't skip dessert, especially the Crème Brule. It made one of my friends cry it was so good. Go here without hesitation and enjoy your night! Can't wait to go again!!!
Our hotel recommended this place. It was a fantastic recommendation and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The squash ravioli was special, as was the tortellini.
What a great, friendly and delicious restaurant. The owner, staff and chef were the best! We loved it!
We had Christmas lunch here and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the service exceptional. Would definitely recommend
Everything is good pasta good place good and the chef is so friendly ���
Fantastic italian food. Upscale, authentic. Enjoyed our meals. Great service, the owner even came out too welcome us.
This place was amazing! My family and I stepped in for a late dinner and we were far from disappointed. We received excellent service from the whole staff and chef Chicco himself. Incredible food and atmosphere! Thank you!

We had such an amazing experience here tonight! The linguine was delicious and the clams were exquisite. The service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. And nothing can top the generosity of Chef Chicco. We will back, it was one of the best meals we've had in New York!
The food is wonderful, the deserts are average. Worth the visit. The Lobster Bisque is a must.

The food was fantastic! Perfect portioning, beautiful presentation. The staff was wonderful - extremely accomodating, professional and courteous. Looking forward to our next meal at Fabios!
Went here on a Monday night at 7:30 and the restaurant was less than half full. My coworker (who ordered fish) and I (I got chicken) were both disappointed with the food. We suspect the chicken and fish were cooked separate from the sauce and then had it poured over. The chicken was cooked well but the sauce was very bland on both dishes. The lamb my other co worker ordered was great but the portion was very small for the price. Overall we found the meal to be ok, nothing worth complaining about to the staff but nothing worth us coming back.
Some of the best Italian food I've had in NYC. Food was very fresh. Next time I'm going to get the pasta where they prepare it table side. The service was excellent. They had love music which was appropriate for dining and they took requests. The decor was beautiful.
You cannot go to NY and not eat at Fabio! The food is so authentic and some of the best I’ve ever had. Not only is the food incredible, but Chef Chicco treats you like family when you’re there. This is a must try!

Not a single thing you could complain about!! From the moment you walk in you feel as if you are in Chef Chicco's home. He truly cares about your experience from service, to cocktails, to food. The waitstaff are warm, knowledgeable and provide great recommendations based on what you like. The food is absolutely unreal. There is literally a dish for EVERYONE! If you want creamy, spicy, savory, light, it's all there. Pasta alla Chef is a must try (homemade fettuccine with mushrooms, truffle oil, spun in the parmesan wheel by Chef Chicco himself). Also had the sole which was a nice lighter choice but super flavorful. Ensure you save room for dessert as that is one of Chicco's specialties. The tiramisu is legitimately out of this world. We were able to spend some time with Chef Chicco and learn about the ingredients he uses, his history with cooking, and how he came up with many of his dishes. This is truly a WONDERFUL dining experience form start to finish. Not to be missed when visiting NYC!
Out of all the Italian restaurants I’ve eaten at in NYC (a lot!), I have a new favorite. The food was fresh, delicious, placed well, and the service was excellent. My friend and I shared the calamari, arugula salad, red snapper, mango sorbet, and creme brûlée. I also enjoyed the ambiance (super cozy and romantic) and was spoiled by getting to meet Chef Chicco. Bravo! Grazie mille!
The blue lights covering the arched branches welcomed us to come in and we are so glad we did. You will find a warm and inviting atmosphere, second to none. We loved the tortellini and risotto, as well as the wonderful desserts. Come for a drink at the quaint bar. Stay for the amazing food and company. Professional wait staff. Don't miss Fabio's!
The place is really nice. And the service is excellent. Everyone was nice and when they found out we were from out of town they were so sweet and tried to help us feel comfortable. 10 stars! Thank you Chef! I loved my meal 😊
I was staying in town for work I visited this restaurant during COVID. I was greeted by a beautiful, classy outdoor converted (per state mandate) Italian restaurant. The owner and head chef, Chicco, absolutely took this experience to the next level. The food and staff were exquisite. I highly recommend the fried calamari (light batter with extremely fresh marinara) and the seafood ravioli (blend of seafood inside black pasta with a creamy blush sauce). The atmosphere and wonderful food provided an easy and delightful way to eat a meal and the top notch treatment guaranteed a return visit. 100% recommend.
Believe the reviews. The food is great. From the appetizer to the entrees to the desserts, everything is delicious. And the bread.. so good.. Plus the service and owner just put it over the top. Truly a 5 star restaurant. Best restaurant we have eaten at in this area, which we frequent quite often.
Flavor and freshness of the dishes was amazing. The service and attentiveness was exactly the right amount. We had two salads (arugula and the beets), pasta primavera, scampi risotto, and the NY strip special. Couldn’t be happier with the portions, enough to feel you really experienced the flavors / textures but not too much where you get tired of them and full.
Thanks for a great time!
The ambiance is very comfortable and cozy. The owner of the restaurant greeted us and made conversation with us. He also gave us free dessert and limoncello drinks. He seemed like a very genuine and proud person who is excited to share his passion of food and cooking with everyone. He made us feel right at home.
The service was outstanding. Everyone was very professional and made sure all of our needs were met without interrupting our meal and conversation.
All of the food we ordered was delicious and cooked perfectly, too. The portions were large and we did not find the prices to be out of the ordinary, especially considering how large the portions were.
This was the best restaurant experience we had during our visit to NYC and we would definitely visit again.
It’s my first time writing a review ever and I guess it’s because this place was amazing. The service was wonderful, the chef personally came to our table to tell us the menu and if we didn’t like his specials he cooked whatever we wanted. The food was delicious- the artichoke to die for! I had the red snapper with an amazing lemon sauce. The dessert was also delicous!!! Highly recommended, the place has a beautiful decoration and the people are very welcoming.
Had the most wonderful experience at this restaurant!! I was nervous because we were a huge party (with kids!) but they accommodated us with a somewhat secluded space and treated us like family! Before we walked inside patrons dining outside said this is the BEST authentic Italian spot in NYC and they were absolutely right!
The service and food were amazing and we can’t wait to go back. All of our picky eaters enjoyed the food, service, and dessert. They have something for everyone (did I mention we also brought kids??). Can’t wait to go back :-)
I will never forget my dinner here. It was our first time there and the meal was one of the best we have ever had in a restaurant of this caliber. I do not say this lightly. It was exceptional. Our 9 year old daughter was with us. She is not a great eater but even she was in love with the food. The chef, Chico, came out to talk with us. He made us all smile.
The food, the decor and the service all played a part in making it a very special evening . The cost is worth the memory I will keep . We will be back.
Thanks to the worlds best chef and partner Chicco Asante this restaurant is impeccable, un-snooty service; high-quality food sourced from the finest purveyors; creative-yet-classic preparation and craftsmanship; and an overall experience that leaves you happy and content in the fact that you just ate a world-class meal.
If you are in New York this is the place you have to go!!! Chicco will spoil you with his spectacular meals and immense kindness and welcoming heart. He will make you feel like a king/queen!!!
I can’t wait to dine there again!!!
Had an excellent meal with my family! We had a few of the pasta dishes and some appetizers and they were delicious! The service was phenomenal. The head chef even came out and chatted with us. Great ambience. Would highly recommend!
Steak was very decently priced for a whole 24oz. We went for my friend's birthday and they were extremely courteous and welcoming despite us being collegiates. The chef was also very sweet, as he spoke to us in great depth about the restaurant, how he got into cooking, and more. Recommend if you're wiling to splurge a little, not only for the food, but also the overall experience.
Might be my new favorite Italian spot in NYC. Amazing appetizers and fresh homemade pasta. Excellent service and very reasonably priced. Went there for lunch randomly because it happen to be close by. Totally blown away. Had the pasta special that was stuffed with pear and some other goodies. Simply delicious. I rarely write reviews but I had to for Fabio that’s how good it was!
Absolutely delicious! My husband and I went here 2 nights in a row because of how good everything was. Excellent and fast service. Even better food. The FOOD! Amazing!! If you’re in Hershey this place is a must try!!
We can recommend the
-penne a la vodka
- Chicken Toscano
- and the trio sampler that isn’t on the menu but is the linguini Alfredo, chicken parm, and ravioli.
Garlic bread perfect! Salad fresh.. I can go on and on. The atmosphere is family friendly but quaint and comfortable.
